Developing countries have reserved their right to designate the services sectors that they wish to liberalize. I am sure you will agree with me that the services industry is the most dynamic industry in many African countries.Africa stands to gain further by maintaining an offensive position in this sector. This will not only send positive signals to investors but it will also provide the predictability and transparency that is required to facilitate investment decisions.There cannot be a…See More
Sidney Clouston commented on Isaac Twumasi Quantus's blog post Africa: Consider Vocational training"I agree that Vocational Training is important. Distance Education needs to be expanded and the focus on the Youth who will see employment and income for their family is another reason."
A blog post by Isaac Twumasi Quantus was featuredAfrica: Consider Vocational training
It is worth recalling that vocational training is but one instrument for employment generation in Africa and, as such, should be kept in perspective. Whereas vocational training can develop appropriate skills and thereby improve labour supply and the “employability” of the work force, demand for labour depends on incentives for investment, including prices, the exchange rate and generally, the business climate in the country.Vocational training should respond to the needs of the informal…See More

Lack of knowledge of another culture can result in mistakes that may confuse or even offend the people with whom an organization intends to communicate. I heard on the news the other day that the Ghana Investment Promotion center (GIPC) set out to train its staff in multicultural communication strategies and skills to communicate in a more professional and appropriate manner and I thought that's a great step taken.

Africa’s Resource nationalism
By Isaac Twumasi-Quantus in Accra.
Resource nationalism has become an increasingly pressing issue for mining companies in the last year with an Ernst & Young report naming it the leading global business risks for mining and metals business.
A number of African countries, including Ghana and Zambia, have recently moved to increase taxes on mining operations, and other governments, such as Guinea, have proposed new legislation to increase…

Hi:
May I crave your indulgence towards providing your perspective on this long question:
What’s your advice to someone, who has been doing so much to propagate BoP in his environment (please click on http://www.iroy.in/category/business/markets-for-poor/ for insight), which has a population of more than 112 million poor people; government officials/institutions contacted on adoption of the concept are either ignorant or don’t care about it; prospective local private sector ventures lack sectoral motivation; and it’s very likely that most related business models will succeed in the place?
I anticipate your early response.

We also have a couple of other projects elsewhere in Africa "in the pipeline" and hope to get contracts formalized for those soon.
Sorry it took so long to respond - I'm new to this site and didn't realize your comment was here.
